Bush gives interview to Tabloid Newspaper...
EXCLUSIVE! Bush: "Your Troops Did Not Die in Vain!"
Yes, in another attempt to "go over the heads of the filter" (paraphrased) of the badly-biased major U.S. newspapers, President Bush has given his only one-on-one interview this year to a U.K. tabloid newspaper. The fact that The Sun routinely publishes pictures of topless women on it's famous Page 3 section notwithstanding, I think it's a good idea. Why give an interview to the The New York Times, Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal when you can reach "a large readership" according to Press Secretary Scott McClellan. If that fact gives you pause, it's shouldn't. Who cares that all major U.S. newspapers have large readerships as well when you can talk to a truly sympathetic newspaper. Critical media be damned! President Bush is going to talk to local newscasters and tabloid magazines as well he should! True egalitarian spirit if you ask me.
Those are the facts of life. Troops die, but Bush is all heart. Can't disagree with that.
Just the facts, ma'am: Bush spoke movingly.
It doesn't need to be said...but Bush is speaking movingly here.
On an optimistic note President Bush assumes Page 3 readers actually read the articles! Jolly good way to respect the intelligence of the common man in the face of so much doubt. It cannot be said that President Bush lacks resolve.
Note: it appears the English have no word for "duty."
The question was actually second most asked by Sun readers. The first being why Krystle waited until this summer to go topless on the beach.

?Nobody likes war. See, I understand the consequences of war. I understand particularly when I go and hug the moms and dads and brothers and sisters and sons and daughters of those who died. I can see also the consequences of NOT acting, of hoping for the best in the face of tyrannical killers.?

I then asked President Bush the question asked recently by thousands of Sun readers: Is the world a safer place since the war in Iraq? He replied: ?Yes, much safer. The free world has recognised the threat.

Give Bush a break. Obviously he did this interview with The Sun because he reads Page 3 just like the rest of us.
I heard Bush gets his Page 3 news from his staff. Wait a second...

Who? Rice?
"Today was Veteran's Day, a day to honor those brave Americans who have fought to defend our country ? or in our president's case, a day to freak them out. President Bush commemorated Veteran's Day by attending a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, then signing the National Cemetery Expansion Act, which basically establishes new burial grounds for veterans. So happy Veteran's Day ? we wanted to give you health insurance but ..." ?Jon Stewart
But the Sun is so much more than breasts. It is also reporting this week on a woman who is "made of two women" and "is NOT the biological mother of two of the children she conceived and had naturally." Other news items highlighted on the Sun's Web site: "Man begins 12-day sausage, bean and chip bath to promote Brit food," "German saboteurs plotted to bomb Palace with peas in WW2, files reveal," and "Sobbing islanders say sorry to the ancestor of minister eaten by natives."
Restore dignity to the White House? Maybe next term!
By the way, RUPERT MURDOCH just happens to own The Sun...

Absolutely nothing at all. It's fitting that a caricature of a president imitates a caricature of a secret agent by giving a mockery of an interview to a mockery of a newspaper. Say that 5 times fast...
